Hi Chris.

You can see how different opinions can be on the same piece.

Whilst Cal and Bill both lean towards a 20th Century dating they are both seemingly at either ends of the dating spectrum!!

The problem with a 20th Century attribution for me is the colour of the mark...This blue does not appear to be a Republic shade nor a later 20th Century version.

Also note the foot rim! This colour would not be typical of a 20th Century date line!

The only doubt in my mind is the decoration which should be highlighted in blue which was common practice during the 18th Century on this sort of 'slip' decoration...

But the main question you have to ask yourself is why would someone go to the trouble of having their name etched into the base if at one time it was not regarded as an important piece to someone!

In my mind you need to have the mark carefully examined under close magnification and that will confirm it's pedigree without any doubt.

Regards,

Gary
